When I’m in a hurry or feel overwhelmed, this is one of my “go to” recipes! With only 5 minutes of prep work, I can feed my family a nutrient dense, filling meal. And it’s so versatile! Choose your beans, spices, and protein source based on your body’s needs!

For example, you can add beef, turkey, chicken, or pork. Alternatively, turn the chili vegan by adding more vegetables, such as: butternut squash or sweet potato. Bulk it up with red bell peppers, carrots, celery, or whichever vegetables you desire or have laying around in the kitchen.

I particularly enjoy this chili on cold days when I crave warming foods.
